Building up a 4X4X30" block of hard maple using 3/4" thick boards.
Never used Gorilla glue before but bought some today and glued on a
board and heavily clamped it, but did not moisten the board as per
directions. (didn't read directions). How much of a problem will this
be? A horribly weak joint or a very strong joint but not as good as
it might be if done correctly?Any comments appreciated.

I've used Gorilla Glue both with, and without, moistening the boards first. It
doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference: either way, the glue bond is
going to be stronger than the wood anyway. Unless you live in the desert,
there's enough moisture in the wood to activate the glue regardless.
